Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Written by an author responsible for some of the big sellers of 'misery-lit' (something I didn't know when I took this book off the shelf at the library) it offers no startling new techniques. Essentially it advises to be calm, keep control and that most kids really just boundaries that parents stick too. Extremely simple BUT if you are looking for technique to use, it could be helpful to have a 'script to follow' if you are trying to turn your household around. ( ) no reviews | add a review

A fresh and practical guide to successfully managing children's behaviour - from babies to young adults. Cathy Glass has been a foster carer for over 20 years, during this time fostering more than 50 children, as well as bringing up three of own. Many of these children have had severe behavioural difficulties and have come to Cathy as a last resort, when their parents or carers were no longer able to cope. Drawing on a combination of years of training and extensive personal experience, in this comprehensive guide, Cathy passes on her tried and tested methods for guiding, nurturing and disciplining children. Approaching child development chronologically, this book guides you through Cathy's incredibly simple and effective 3Rs technique: Request, Repeat and Reassure. Within this framework, Cathy addresses a host of childcare issues, including, amongst others, why children misbehave and what parents can do to the change this, how diet can affect children's behaviour, what parents can do to avoid sibling rivalry, and how to spot and address the behavioural symptoms of special needs such as dyslexia, autism, ADHD and bipolar. Applicable to all age groups - from newborn babies to young adults - Happy Kids is a clear and concise guide to raising confident, well-behaved and happy children. No library descriptions found. |
